Full Song Lyrics

Closing Day's A Rodeo (Home Buying Comedy Song) - [Verse 1]

Fell in love with a house, had a porch and a view,

Made an offer that day, thought my dream was comin' true.

Inspector showed up, clipboard in his hand,

Said "Son I got bad news" before he even stepped in the land.

[Verse 2]

Roof's got a leak, and the furnace is a mess,

Termites signed the lease before I even had a chance to guess.

Called up my agent, said "Just breathe and don't you cry," I said "Lady I'm breathin' into a paper bag, goodbye."

[Chorus]

Buyin' a house'll test your nerves and your soul, Paperwork mountains and a bank that's in control.

Signed my name so many times I forgot who I was, Closing day's a rodeo and I'm ridinicause I must.

(Ridin' 'cause I must, Lord I'm ridin' 'cause I must) [Verse 3]

Seller wants more money, I said "man, come on,"

Countered back and forth till the whole deal 'bout come undone.

Finally shook on it, three months feelin' like a year, Showed up to closing table, forgot my own ID right here. [Chorus]

Buyin' a house'll test your nerves and your soul, Paperwork mountains and a bank that's in control.

Signed my name so many times I forgot who I was, Closing day's a rodeo and I'm ridin' 'cause I must.

[Bridge]

Loan guy called me twice a day, wanted every bank statement I had, Asked me why I bought a coffee back in 2019, made me mad.

But somewhere in the madness. I started seein' clear. This crazy stack of paperwork's just gettin' me somewhere.

[Outro Chorus]

Buyin' a house'll test your nerves and your soul, But I'm standin' on my own porch, feelin' whole.

Every headache, every heartache led me to this key, Closing day's a rodeo, but home is home to me.
